Beirut: The threat of riots in Lebanon has been allayed after the army provided fuel.
According to the foreign news agency, the Lebanese grid station has become operational again after the supply of fuel by the army, the government minister confirmed the move and said that the blackout has ended across the country.
Energy Minister Waleed Fayad said that after the supply of fuel, the grid stations have resumed operation. He also thanked the army for providing 6,000 kiloliters of gas.
Lebanese, on the other hand, have not seen much change in their daily lives as the state has been providing electricity for barely an hour or two for months.
It should be noted that Lebanon has been experiencing power shortages since the end of the civil war between 1975 and 1990, but the economic crisis has exacerbated the situation.

The international community has long called for a complete restoration of Lebanon’s loss-making power sector, which has cost the government more than 40 40 billion since the early 1990s.
Yesterday, the situation reached such a stage that due to lack of fuel, the last two power stations of the country were also shut down, after which the entire country was plunged into darkness.
Economists and political observers have warned of the danger, calling the power crisis a sign of economic decline.
Experts said that due to the economic downturn, no payments were made to foreign power generating companies, leaving the entire country in darkness.
